Acoustical Illusions
from Ambientblog Mixes · host Peter van Cooten for Ambientblog.net
"Acoustical Illusions", a part of the "Hum in the Room-trilogy" (2005), is dedicated to the environmental sounds that sound like distant choirs or orchestras. Sometimes when you listen to sounds in your environmental background, they may vaguely sound like a full string orchestra, or like soft whispering voices. An orchestra tuning? Cars passing on the highway?Sound that sound different from what they really are - Acoustical Illusions. Like the other wo mixes in this set ("Mantra of Walls and Wiring" and "The Hum in the Room") this is a very minimal, drone-oriented mix. And probably, you'll also hear some sounds that aren't even in it! --- originally published on Ambientblog --- PLAYLIST: Matthias Grassow - Hidden Deep- Hidden deep, 1999, 2001, Sistema Operativo Paul Schutze - The Head, the Soles of the Feet, an Arm- Third Site, 1999, Rykodisc RCD 10464Matthew Florianz - Heden- Sprook, 1999, unreleased Anders Blomqvist - Sparar (Tracking)- Media Artes II, 2002, Chamber Sound 27 Banabila - Still Waiting- Hilarious Expedition, 2005, TAPU RECORDS, TRBOP01 Banabila - SMS-ing- Hilarious Expedition, 2005, TAPU RECORDS, TRBOP01 Astrogenic Hallucinauting - Non Angular Chamber- Drone Download Project 2003 Biosphere - The Silent Orchestra- Man with a Movie Camera, 2001, Touch TO:50 Matthew Florianz - Hidden- Electronic Forest, 2002.
